Market Chatter: Micron Taiwan Union to Strike Thursday Amid Bonus Dispute

04:56 AM EDT, 10/20/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Micron Technology's (MU) workers union in Taoyuan, Taiwan, will stage a strike on Thursday as the US chipmaker meets with a separate union from its Taichung operations for mediation, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing a union statement. The Taoyuan union said the move is meant to show solidarity with Taichung workers and pressure Micron to offer a concrete profit-sharing plan, according to Reuters. Micron has about 15,000 workers in Taiwan, and earlier mediation with the Taoyuan union ended without an agreement, Reuters said. Micron did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment, while efforts to reach Micron's Taoyuan union were unsuccessful.
